This ain't me. It's Amadeo Modigliani, my favorite painter. And he's watching you (try it, move around the room, his eyes will follow you).

Misplaced Pages Philosophy Stuff

Suppose someone sits down where you are sitting right now and announces to me that he is Napoleon Bonaparte. The last thing I want to do with him is to get involved in a technical discussion of cavalry tactics at the Battle of Austerlitz. If I do that, I'm getting tacitly drawn into the game that he is Napoleon Bonaparte..

There is a sort of public myth that judges do not make any mistakes about the law. As far as I know there is no one involved in the legal business who doesn't agree that judges frequently make mistakes of the law. If you talk to lawyer over a drink he can very easily be pushed into a discussion of the ghastly errors that judges he has dealt with have made, and will tell you that some judges are positively stupid. Lawyers are unlikely to say this in public..
— Gordon Tullock, "Legal Heresy", Economic Inquiry, 1996

WIKIPEDIA IS NOT A BATTLEGROUND!!!!!!!!!!!
In place of misapplied, misunderstood, naive and often hypocritical WP:AGF, my Misplaced Pages philosophy is WP:T4T (which is about as good as you can do in an imperfect world)

Random musical update: Consensus! (or here)

Some call it Treason... or at least Heresy!

Good articles:

My DYKs (75 o'them)

Other articles which I forgot to DYK

Article to do list, time and else permitting

Domar serfdom model (did factor endowments (land-labor ratio) determine whether a pre-industrial economy ended up with slavery, serfdom or free labor?)
Brenner debate (related to the above, what ended feudalism in Western Europe but caused its re-emergence in Eastern Europe?)
Second feudalism (re both above)
Economic costs of American Civil War (Goldin and Lewis to start with)
Economic history of Poland (started, on hold)
Piast monetary policy (sometimes good, sometimes bad, just like Ben Bernanke today)
Historical demography of England (needs its own proper article. Wrigley and Schofield's a fundamental source)
Economics of conflict (Garfinkel & Skaperdas have overview. Gordon Tullock's rent seeking model)
